rdate <subcommand>


     Remote Date (rdate) is used to set the time of the local NOS
system based on the time obtained from a remote system's time server.
The Unix time (port 37) protocol is used.


    rdate server <hostname>

     Causes a connect to <hostname> TCP port 37, from which a time is
     obtained, adjusted by an offset if one was given, and then used to
     set the time on the local system.  Note that if the system time is set
     backward in time, certain Jnos displays may show anomalous, negative
     values.
